He seems to be unconscious that the United States will by force of circumstances beyond Its control have to become a party to, a league regardless of the elec tion results. : Wye shall not make a separate peace with Germany.

Women are numerous in Scot land and the majority of them are counted on the dry side, the workers for which are confident that their votes will overwhelm those of the sbipworkers. railroad men and employes of large Indus trial concerns who are faithfully standing by the distilleries. .

That is merely frothy talk indulged In by the wets as they blow their pewter mugs in the public houses, which is the Scottish name for what Americans used to call saloons.
